More Crappy Mazda Engineering

[OrngSpd03]

My MSP began to stall and Idel ruff yesterday. I was not sure what was going on. I poped the hood and low and behold another spectial of the superb engeneering and craftsmanship that goes into the MSP. The intake pipe that goes into the top of theintercooler has a plastic nipple that hooks to the hose attached to the BOV. The nipple was pulled away for mt intake hose. I was wondering how the molded plastic was able to pull away like that. Then I took a closer look. ITS NOT MOLDED IT IS GLUED ON. WTF! Its a BOV! don't you thing anything with pressure running through it would not me GLUED! I had to get some Plastic Epoxy to reattace it. What was Mazda thinking?

mine came loose too. This is your excuse to buy hard pipes.

Who sells Hard pipes? I just put an INJEN Cold air on. IT would probably look Good with Hard Pipes

dr.sound done.

 

[OrngSpd03]

[Dr.Sound]

I had the same problem and I fixed it with epoxy. Mine broke when I was pulling on it though in an attempt to be able to reach the bottom of the vaccuum hose to the wastegate. The epoxy seems to be working very well so far.

mine broke when the car was like a month old I used a gel super glue.It worked great,then I got ride of those P.O.S. pipes for turbohoses pipes.

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

you know why, becuase asian men with little hands didnt assemble it, damn US New Jersians ( i think that is right) did it. Nothing against jersey, just against US car manufactures and workers. Lately anything assembled here, goes to s***. I guarantee if this kit was thought and made there and assembled there, it would be much better. Because little asian men did it. HAHA j/k

Great excuse for hard pipes, but very gay excuse though. Mazda dealers should be forced to by us hardpipes.

Dude! $250. That sounds almost reasonable. You might want to up the price to around $695 to make people believe that quality is high. Hell, if people will spend $400 for an intake, just think of the money you can make. lol

Seriously, I think 250 is the lowest I have seen. I'd love to have hardpipes, but I have a hard time spending a lot of money on something when it's not broken.

I look forwared to hearing more about your product. I may well be interested.

ya - mine broke twice so far. gotta love mazda for helping me out with that one.....not! I must say i love my car but its getting old fast with all the bs involved and constant walls in the way from tuning this bad boy. Oh well.... to hell with mazda! in my opinion the best way to make a mazdaspeed fast is to say hell with it and get an sti - afterall who ever hears anything bad about subarus
